| description | The cultivation of ginger in India is crucial in the country’s agricultural and economic landscape. However, the changing climate presents significant challenges to ginger production. Fluctuations in temperature, precipitation, UV radiation, and extreme weather events like droughts and floods can profoundly impact the growth of ginger. Ginger plants are sensitive to environmental changes, which can lower yields by disrupting growth, flowering, pollination, and fruit development. To combat these issues, effective strategies include organic farming, biological pest control, and efficient irrigation methods like pressurized systems and moisture sensors. Integrated pest management strategies, which integrate biological, cultural, and chemical approaches to pest control, have also been employed. To proactively address the impact of climate change on ginger cultivation, it is essential to thoroughly document these effects from an agricultural perspective. This comprehensive documentation will provide planners and stakeholders with valuable perspectives and enable them to devise and execute a wide array of measures to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change and ensure the sustainability of ginger farming. This review examines the impact of climate change on ginger farming in India and explores strategies for sustainable production. |
